Transmission Service & Repair
Fluid service, diagnosis and repair for automatic and manual transmissions.
Your transmission delivers power from the engine to the wheels. Keeping the fluid in good condition and catching problems early can help you avoid more extensive repairs.
We service and repair transmissions on all makes and models, and we diagnose first so you know what is actually wrong.
Signs of a transmission problem
- Harsh, delayed or slipping shifts
- The engine revs but the vehicle doesn’t accelerate as it should
- Red or brown fluid under the vehicle
- A burning smell
- Grinding, whining or clunking noises
- The check engine or transmission warning light is on
What’s included
- Transmission fluid level and condition check
- Fluid and filter service where specified
- Leak inspection and repair
- Shift-quality diagnosis and road test
- Transmission control diagnostics and software checks
- Repair or replacement recommendations
What will it cost?
Pricing depends on your vehicle and what we find. We’ll inspect, explain the options and give you an estimate before any work begins. No work is done without your approval.
What happens during your visit
Check
We check fluid level and condition and look for leaks.
Diagnose
A scan and road test help identify shifting, electronic or mechanical faults.
Explain
We review the findings and the options, from fluid service to repair.
Service
With your approval, we complete the work and road-test the vehicle again.
How often should transmission fluid be serviced?
Intervals vary widely by vehicle and driving conditions. Your owner’s manual lists the recommended schedule, and we can check the fluid condition at your next visit.
Is a slipping transmission always a major repair?
Not necessarily. Low fluid, a leak or an electronic fault can cause similar symptoms. A proper diagnosis tells you what is really needed.
Do you work on manual transmissions and clutches?
Yes. We service vehicles with automatic and manual transmissions. Call us to talk about your specific vehicle.
